On July 4, 2020, in a ward of Qilu Hospital in Shandong, five elderly people sat around the bed, among which was a post-90s veteran named Guo Xuecheng, who was found to have lymphocytic leukemia, also known as blood cancer.
His three fathers and two mothers were always by his side, giving him strength and helping him to muster the courage to overcome his illness.
Guo Xuecheng has always thought that his family is ordinary and happy, his father is dignified, his mother is kind, and they care for him meticulously. However, a sudden illness changed his perception of family.
On July 3, Guo Xuecheng was diagnosed with leukemia. The next day, his mother, Ms. Zhang, rushed to the hospital from her hometown, and then she called a ** and called Guo Xuecheng's three fathers and another mother to the hospital.
Guo Xuecheng looked at his mother with a puzzled face, and heard his mother say, "Son, these three people are your father!" This news shocked Guo Xuecheng, what did he go through, and why did he have three fathers?
Five elderly people set up stalls on the street to raise money, attracting ** attention Recently, on a street in Shandong, five old people attracted the attention of **. They were setting up a stall ** dried dates, although the weather was hot, they were sticking to their stalls, their faces haggard.
Passers-by sometimes stop to buy some dried dates and thank them. This made the reporter feel sad, and he came to the booth to ask why they fought so hard.
His simple question made everyone present cry.
Guo Xuecheng's biological parents responded frankly to reporters that the reason why they worked so hard was to raise money to save their son. Their child was waiting in a bed at Qilu Hospital for a major operation, a matter of life and death, and the reporter decided to seek help from well-wishers through reporting.
In the process of reporting, the reporter had some questions, since they were three men and two women, why did they have the same son? They decided not to hide it anymore and told the story to the public.
Several people recalled together and pieced together the true life experience of their son Guo Xuecheng. Although Guo Xuecheng was born in Shandong, he was actually the child of a peasant family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, and he did not bring much joy to his parents when he was born, because although they loved him, they knew that they could not support him.
The couple already had two sons before they had their third child, and life was quite difficult. However, the unexpected arrival of this baby has brought them great financial pressure and life burden.
Although they are not happy with the child at first, as the child grows, they gradually feel that the child has a special connection with them. Especially in the days when a woman is pregnant, she feels a deep connection between mother and child, which makes it impossible for her to give up the child.
Over time, the woman even looks forward to the arrival of the child. Although she wants the child to be a girl so that the burden can be lightened on them, no matter what, they will do their best to take care of the child and make the bond between them deeper.
Sadly, the couple gave birth to a boy. Although they have the heart to raise their children, they decide to find a better family for their children due to various reasons.
Before the child was born, they found a willing family through social channels. Meanwhile, in Dezhou, Shandong, there is a couple who are experiencing the pain of infertility.
Their names are Guo Changjiang and Ms. Zhang, and they are very fond of children, but they have never had children. They saw a lot of doctors and took a lot of medicines, but there was no good news.
Gradually, they began to give up. Under the introduction of well-wishers, they learned that there was a family in Shaanxi who was willing to ***, so they bought milk powder and diapers in advance, and rushed to Xianyang as soon as the child was born.
Along the way, they spent three days, and the days were like years.
When Ms. Zhang finally saw the child, she was so excited that she put down her things and went to wash her hands, and only after confirming that she was clean did she carefully pick up the child. The child's biological parents were originally worried, but seeing the cleanliness and gentleness of the couple, they knew that the child would be happy in the future.
And Ms. Zhang brought her own milk powder and diapers, which proves that the couple is very careful. The biological parents relieved their children to Guo Changjiang and Ms. Zhang. Guo Changjiang named the child Guo Xuecheng.
After spending three days at his biological parents' house, Guo Xuecheng came to his adoptive parents' home. When he left Xianyang, Guo Xuecheng kept crying, but the closer he got to Shandong, the calmer his mood became.
When he arrived in Texas, he even burst into laughter.
Guo Xuecheng showed a special fate with his family when he was a child. Guo Changjiang joked: "It seems that this kid is destined to become my son." Ms. Zhang was very happy about this and nodded frequently.
After returning home, the first thing the two of them did was to take good care of Guo Xuecheng, although they were tired, they still washed their son first, and then carefully put him on the small bed prepared in advance.
Seeing the child smiling so happily, Guo Changjiang hugged his wife's shoulders and was full of hope for the future. Under the care of his parents, Guo Xuecheng grew up healthy and happy.
He loves his parents very much and feels that they are the best parents. When he was a child, he liked to play with mud, and other people's parents always blamed their children for being ignorant, but his parents praised him for his hands-on ability.
He also likes to climb trees and roll on the ground, and his mother always does the laundry for him, never suppressing his nature.
When Guo Xuecheng and his adoptive mother Ms. Zhang were growing up, his parents never forced him to take the first place. Although his family is not wealthy, they are still willing to provide him with the sports equipment he needs to satisfy his sports hobbies.
Once, Guo Xuecheng said affectionately: "My classmates are very envious that I have the best mother in the world. Ms. Zhang asked him suspiciously, "Why do they say that?" ”
Guo Xuecheng replied: "The last time they ran for class cadres at the beginning of the school year, they were not elected as class presidents, and they were blamed by their mothers for being unproductive. But I told you that I wasn't elected president, and you were very happy and felt that I would have more time to do what I loved in the future. ”
This is the heartwarming story of their family, full of love and understanding.
Guo Changjiang always told Guo Xuecheng that he was their favorite child, and he would not change his love for him because he was not the class leader. Even though he and Guo Xuecheng's mother divorced due to a broken relationship, he still insisted on visiting Guo Xuecheng every weekend.
He took Guo Xuecheng for a run, listened to him share the secrets of manhood, and took him to taste food. Even though they can't be together every day, Guo Xuecheng understands that their love for him has never changed.
Over time, Guo Xuecheng has grown into a handsome young man. At the age of 18, in order to pursue his ideals, he quietly signed up for the army. Although he feared that he would be blamed by his parents, he was surprised to find that they understood and supported his decision.
Ms. Zhang is as warm as a spring breeze, she said: "Child, mother's arms are always open for you, and I will always be your strongest backing." Guo Changjiang, a loving father, said to his son: "A manly man, the experience of the military camp is a precious wealth in life.
Dad supports your dreams, be brave and chase them. Guo Xuecheng felt extremely happy, he felt that he was the luckiest person in the world. He underwent rigorous military training every day, and although it was hard, it was rewarding.
Before the clothes could be dried, they were soaked with sweat; There were blisters on his hands and feet, and there were sunburn marks on his face and arms. But in his weekly contact with his family, he always tells Ms. Zhang and Guo Changjiang about his training achievements and wonderful moments: "Yesterday's bonfire party, I performed the harmonica in front of everyone, and they were very envious, I am a little celebrity in the army!" ”
Guo Changjiang and Ms. Zhang are thinking about Guo Xuecheng on the other side, and Guo Xuecheng is thousands of miles away, thinking about his parents. When he was 19 years old, he heard a message during a phone call with Ms. Zhang.
Ms. Zhang asked him tentatively: "You're coming back in a year, do you mind if you have one more person at home?" Guo Xuecheng was stunned and didn't react for a while. When he reacted, he replied excitedly: "Mom, you can rest assured and boldly pursue true love."
Next year I will be discharged from the army, and I will come back and drink your favorite wine. He knew that his mother might already have a crush, but his opinion was very important to her.
He respects his mother's decision, understands her years of dedication and sacrifice, and believes that she should find her own happiness. When Guo Xuecheng returned home and saw Jiang Shanzeng busy in the kitchen, he did not immediately object.
At the dinner table, he was very relieved to see Jiang Shanzeng's care and care for his mother. He was almost drunk, and while he was drinking, he said to Jiang Shanzeng: "Dad, in the future, my mother will please you!" ”
Jiang Shanzeng was stunned for a moment, but immediately assured that he would do his best to support this family.
